Aging in Place: How to Choose the Right Level of Senior Care
ACTIVE
As individuals age, navigating the healthcare system and determining the appropriate level of care can become increasingly complex. This session will guide advocates through the full continuum of senior care, helping them understand what to expect at each stage and how to support informed decision-making.
We will explore the many factors that contribute to vulnerability among older adults, including financial limitations, medical complexity, systemic barriers, and bias within the healthcare system. Attendees will gain practical insight into how to advocate effectively while respecting autonomy, privacy, and ethical standards.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Understand the different levels of senior care and how to determine an appropriate level of care
- Recognize key factors that make older adults vulnerable, including financial, medical, and systemic barriers
- Apply ethical and professional advocacy standards, including protecting autonomy, privacy, and confidentiality
